Re: [News] Linux Reigns Planet Mars, Microsoft Shenanigans Stepping in

Verily I say unto thee, that Jim Relsh spake thusly:

> Ahemm...vxWorks is *not* a variant of Linux.

Yes, this is neither Linux nor Free Software. The best that can be said
about it is that it isn't Windows. It is UNIX-like, but that's as close
as it gets. With only a 33MHz system NASA will definitely be running it
natively on the Phoenix Lander, and not hosted.
